10. Choice.
"It's your choice when you want to come out of the closet, Kurt. I know how much being kicker means to you, as well as the approval of others. And I already told you that I'd wait for you," Dave reminds Kurt when they get a ride together to school from Finn. Kurt has Dave's hand in his, and Finn had asked if Kurt was going to walk into the building like that or not.
After all, this is the senior year of high school finally beginning. It's going to whiz by faster than every other year thanks to all of the bird classes (easy-to-pass courses) and fun events in store. Senior year is often how you're remembered until the high school reunions. Senior year is everyone's last chance to change things, redefine themselves, find a college/career, and make their mark on their peers and entire school.
Kurt inhales shakily, peering through the mirror at Finn's brown eyes. He nods firmly. "I'm aware, both of you. But after the whole Blaine fiasco – thank goodness he actually was a graduate and I won't have to worry about him anymore, now that he's going to Yale or whatever – I want to do this. I don't want to hide anymore. And you know what? I figure that if someone has a problem with it, I can beat their ass or put them in their place or get my dad on my side to defend me, depending on the case. So it's cool. I just need to take it like a man. Dave has this entire time, so why can't I?"
Dave gives Kurt's hand a squeeze, their laces fingers going white with the comfortable pressure. "I'm so proud of you, Kurt. Trust me, you're making the right choice. And if not… you always have Finn and me, and I'm sure the Glee Club would welcome you, too, even if you've slushies just about all of them at least once."
Kurt chuckles, but it's more with relief and tension conflicting inside him than actual humor. "Right, totally. There's always that."
Finn turns off the car and unlocks the doors. "Well, then let's get you in there to make a statement. I'll be rooting for you, bro. Rock on!"
A/N: I decided to make both parts equal, so there will be 15 of each, making a total of 30 drabbles in the end. Okee-dokee?
